Examples Of The Application Of Working With Al-‘urf

We have mentioned practical examples of the utilisation of the ‘Urf (custom) in accordance to what the previous Fuqahaa who considered the ‘Urf to be a Daleel mentioned and the following are some more examples:

- The people being accustomed upon the one proposing presenting the one he has proposed to clothing or something similar which is considered as a gift and not part of the dowry (Mahr).

- The people of Baghdad and some of the Arabs being accustomed to providing lunch to workers undertaking building work in their homes or workers fixing their upholstery etc.

- Some people being accustomed to wearing black during the mourning period and particularly women.

- The Muslims being accustomed to stopping work after Salaat ul-Jumu’ah and similarly the suspension of work in government departments on the day of Jumu’ah even though Allah (swt) said:

And when the prayer has been concluded, disperse within the land and seek from the bounty of Allah (Al-Jumu’ah 10).

- The people being accustomed to setting the costs of public transport and not bargaining over its amount whilst such bargaining occurs if the means of travel was private and is not used except by its owner himself.
